effectively loading a program that behaved as legacy BIOS, so to a
bootloader it appeared as a legacy BIOS but was in reality a hybrid
system.

no company will perform twice the work to support
UEFI and also
legacy BIOS for the same motherboard.
Except Lenovo, does. Thinkpad X-series can do both and the order is
configurable in the BIOS (at least on this X250 - I assume other models
can do this, too).
